¹[Ny nahazoan'Isiraely sy ny ankohonany fonenana tsara tao Gosena, ary ny nanjo ny Egyptiana noho ny hamafin'ny mosary] Ary Josefa nankao amin'i Farao ka nilaza taminy hoe: Ny raiko sy ny rahalahiko ary ny ondry aman'osiny sy ny ombiny mbamin'izay rehetra ananany dia efa tonga avy tany amin'ny tany Kanana; ka, indreo, ao amin'ny tany Gosena izy.

¹Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”

²Ary ny dimy lahy tamin'ny rahalahiny no nalainy ka nentiny teo anatrehan'i Farao.

²From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.

³Ary hoy Farao tamin'ireo rahalahin'i Josefa: Inona moa no raharaha fanaonareo? Dia hoy izy tamin'i Farao: Mpiandry ondry izahay mpanomponao hatramin'ny razanay.

³Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”

⁴Ary hoy koa izy tamin'i Farao: Mba hivahiny eto amin'ity tany ity no nihavianay; fa tsy misy ahitra ho an'ny ondry aman'osin'ny mpanomponao, fa mafy ny mosary any amin'ny tany Kanana; koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka mba honina ao amin'ny tany Gosena ny mpanomponao.

⁴They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”

⁵Ary Farao dia niteny tamin'i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Ny rainao sy ny rahalahinao efa tonga atỳ aminao;

⁵Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.

⁶ny tany Egypta dia eo anoloanao; koa amin'izay tany tsara indrindra no amponeno ny rainao sy ny rahalahinao; aoka honina ao amin'ny tany Gosena izy ary raha fantatrao fa misy lehilahy mahay eo aminy, tendreo izy ho lehiben'ny mpiandry ny omby aman'ondriko.

⁶The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”

⁷Dia nentin'i Josefa ho eo anatrehan'i Farao Jakoba rainy; ary Jakoba dia nisaotra an'i Farao.

⁷Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

⁸Ary hoy Farao tamin'i Jakoba: Firy taona moa no andro niainanao?

⁸Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”

⁹Dia hoy Jakoba tamin'i Farao: Telo-polo amby zato taona no andro nivahiniako; sady vitsy no ratsy ny andro niainako ka tsy nahatratra ny andro niainan'ny razako tamin'ny andro nivahiniany.

⁹Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”

¹⁰Ary Jakoba, rehefa nisaotra an'i Farao, dia lasa niala teo anatrehany.

¹⁰Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

¹¹Dia namponenin'i Josefa ny rainy sy ny rahalahiny ka nomeny zara-tany tao amin'ny tany Egypta, dia tao amin'ny tany tsara indrindra, tao amin'ny tany Ramesesa, araka izay efa nandidian'i Farao.

¹¹Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

¹²Dia novelomin'i Josefa tamin'ny hanina ny rainy sy ny rahalahiny mbamin'ny ankohonan'ny rainy rehetra, araka ny isan'ny zanany avy.

¹²Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.

¹³Ary tsy nisy hanina teo amin'ny tany rehetra; fa mafy indrindra ny mosary, ka efa reraka ny tany Egypta sy ny tany Kanana noho ny mosary.

¹³There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

¹⁴Dia nangonin'i Josefa ny vola rehetra izay hita tany amin'ny tany Egypta sy tany amin'ny tany Kanana, dia izay vidin'ny vary novidin'ny olona, ka nampidirin'i Josefa tao an-tranon'i Farao ny vola.

¹⁴Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

¹⁵Ary rehefa lany avokoa ny vola tany amin'ny tany Egypta sy tany amin'ny tany Kanana, dia nankeo amin'i Josefa ny Egyptiana rehetra ka nanao hoe: Omeo hanina izahay; fa nahoana no dia ho faty eto anatrehanao izahay? fa efa lany avokoa ny vola.

¹⁵When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”

¹⁶Ary hoy kosa Josefa : Omeo ny omby aman'ondrinareo hotakalozako, raha lany ny vola.

¹⁶Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”

¹⁷Dia nentiny tany amin'i Josefa ny omby aman'ondriny, ka notakalozan'i Josefa hanina ny soavaliny sy ny ondry aman'osiny ary ny ombiny sy ny borikiny; dia nomeny hanina izy tamin'izany taona izany ho takalon'ny bibiny rehetra.

¹⁷They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

¹⁸Ary rehefa tapitra izany taona izany, dia nankeo aminy indray ny olona tamin'ny taona faharoa ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy azonay afenina amin'itompokolahy fa efa lany ny vola, ary efa lasan'itompokolahy avokoa ny biby fiompy; tsy misy na inona na inona intsony eto imason'itompokolahy afa-tsy ny tenanay sy ny taninay;

¹⁸When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.

¹⁹nahoana no dia ho faty izahay eto anatrehanao, dia izahay sy ny taninay? Takalozy hanina ny tenanay sy ny taninay, dia ho mpanompon'i Farao izahay sy ny taninay: ary omeo voa hafafy izahay, mba ho velona, fa tsy ho faty, ary mba tsy ho lao ny tany.

¹⁹Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”

²⁰Dia notakalozan'i Josefa ho an'i Farao ny tany Egypta rehetra; fa ny Egyptiana samy nanakalo ny sahany avy, satria resy mosary izy; ary dia lasan'i Farao ny tany.

²⁰So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.

²¹Ary ny olona dia nafindrany ho ao amin'ny tanàna hatramin'ny faran'ny faritr'i Egypta rehetra.

²¹As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.

²²Ny tanin'ny mpisorona ihany no tsy mba natakalony; fa nanana anjara tamin'i Farao ny mpisorona ka nihinana ny anjara izay nomen'i Farao azy; izany no tsy nanakalozany ny taniny.

²²Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land.

²³Dia hoy Josefa tamin'ny olona: Indro, efa voavidiko androany ianareo sy ny taninareo ho an'i Farao; koa indreny ny voa hafafinareo, dia hofafazanareo ny tany.

²³Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

²⁴Ary rehefa misy vokatra, dia haterinareo ho an'i Farao ny ampahadiminy; ary ho anareo kosa ny efa-toko, ho voa hafafy any an-tsaha sy hohaninareo mbamin'izay ao an-tranonareo ary hohanin'ny zanakareo.

²⁴It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”

²⁵Ary hoy izy: Efa namonjy ny ainay ianao; aoka mba hahita fitia eto imason'itompokolahy izahay, dia ho mpanompon'i Farao.

²⁵They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

²⁶Dia nataon'i Josefa ho lalana tany amin'ny tany Egypta mandraka androany izany; fa ho an'i Farao ny ampahadiminy; fa ny tanin'ny mpisorona ihany no tsy mba lasan'i Farao.

²⁶Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t become Pharaoh’s.

²⁷Ary nonina tao amin'ny tany Egypta ny Isiraely, dia tao amin'ny tany Gosena; ary nahazo zara-tany tao izy, dia nihamaro anaka ka nihabetsaka indrindra.

²⁷Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

²⁸Ary ny andro niainan'i Jakoba tao amin'ny tany Egypta dia fito ambin'ny folo taona; koa ny andro rehetra niainan'i Jakoba dia fito amby efa-polo amby zato taona.

²⁸Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

²⁹Ary rehefa antomotra ny andro hahafatesan'Isiraely, dia nampaka an'i Josefa zanany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mba nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, masìna ianao, ataovy ato ambanin'ny feko ny tananao, ka ataovy amiko izay soa sy izay marina; masìna ianao aza alevina atỳ Egypta aho.

²⁹The time drew near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,

³⁰Fa rehefa lasa mody mandry any amin'ny razako aho, dia ho entinao hiala atỳ Egypta ka halevinao ao amin'ny fasany. Dia hoy Josefa: Hanao araka ny teninao aho.Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan'ny farafara Isiraely.

³⁰but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” He said, “I will do as you have said.”

³¹Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan'ny farafara Isiraely.

³¹He said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
